I had a dream that I was flying a small plane at night, but I didn't know how to turn on the lights and it was nearly out of fuel. I was in sort of a wildnernessy forest area (it was hard to tell due to there being no lights) but thought I saw a road so tried to land. Turned out it was a river. Then...

I really like Fantasy Life - the art style is very vibrant and sweet, the characters are entertaining and the gameplay is interesting enough that I have about 80 hours playtime. I also like that it's very easy to pick up for 15 minutes, complete a small quest and put back down again as I generally o...

Cisco Packet Tracer is destroying my tiny mind. I'm trying to set up VLANs on a L2 switch which will be trunking them all to a router, the first VLAN will ping the router but the second won't and I don't understand why and all the tutorials and explanations I can find are either way too complex or j...

I have eaten too many lemon tarts and now I feel sick. In a completely unrelated vein, due to some sort of tart eating indoors hurricane (?) my mam is getting 4 lemon tarts for mother's day instead of 12.

So should we submit using your site or this forum? Also, is it gonna be recipes in general or just snacks and treats? You can send recipes either through PMs or via Tumblr, whichever's easiest. It's probably going to be mostly small bakes/treats, branching out into the occasional simple quiche and ...

So has anyone managed to tear themselves away from Skyrim long enough to play the full version of the game? 4 or 5 hours in, my eyes have just about adjusted to the colour scheme after several years of being locked in Bethesda's basement to sort out the persisting Molerat/Skeever problem. Overall, I...

Guys! You're all invited to a meet-up on the 26th Nov which will be full of dorks and Scrabble and beer. Here is a link to the event page on Facebook if you wish to RSVP and have a hand in deciding a venue, but feel free to just show your delightful faces. I also invite you to join the associated (n...

Email to Warwick uni: Could you please look at this qualification's description *link* and tell me if you'd consider it for entry?Reply, a week later: It's theoretically possible we could consider you, but we'd have to see a description of the qualification.

Everything went better than expected: I whined to His Excellency the Overseer of All Things and he said that if I write a stock answer he'll tell people to use it. In a not at all related vein, can anyone help me answer 'how do you have sex'/'what is sex' in 150 characters or less? >_>

I answer questions for a living. When a customer sends in a question, I can see their previous questions and the answers given to them. Rant: the answers regarding sex and gender make me sad. Customer: how do you have sex? Another researcher: To have sex a male with an erect penis must insert his pe...

If we decide a date in the next few weeks we can set up shop in a nice pub with giant tables and delicious beer. Also, because a fair few people will be new to the game, we could really do with an experienced DM. Someone mighty. Someone fond of delicious baked goods, as that will be their reward for...

Open university stuff all sent off, which means I'm now working towards an honest to golly chemistry flavoured degree whilst being allowed to malinger around the house in my pyjamas. Yay!Which also means I'm not going to have to drop out again due to burgeoning agoraphobia. Double yay!

Long shot: does anyone here know guitar, have some method of recording themselves playing the guitar, and want to do me a giant favour in return for the promise of delicious brownies and my eternal gratitude? Your musics would be part of a comedy show. You'd be slightly famous! (... please? Pleasepl...

A while ago I played model so a friend who is very sparkly could sell his handmade Pip-Boy and laser pistol from Fallout 3 on the inter-nets. Here are two of those photos (one photoshopped to make it more brown).

Finally finished making the blasted Mario gift box, time to go scour my skin to get rid of all the paint (how did I get it up to my elbows?). Lookit: http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/large/352706855.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJF3XCCKACR3QDMOA&Expires=1311345042&Signature=XShTShEcB7vzzozVxx...
